There are some great Motocross videos out there now, but every so often I dust off the VHS version of Terrafirma 2 and it really makes me want to ride. For me when Robby Reynard (please exuse the spelling error) and John Dowd tackle motocross 338 it really makes motocross look like a powerful art. Especially when the first riding...

I am about to head out to practice and for some reason I have noticed a phenomenon: it is people who are not going fast enough to scrub but think they need to. The result: very odd body position, usually goonesque, and all the thought about scrubbing usually slows them down. I see people attempting scrubs when there is just...

I was just wondering what part of bike maintenance or bike work do you despise the most?

I know this may seem strange because the talk around here lately on the moto forum has been more about stuff that has nothing to do with motocross, but for some reason I really dislike seeing riders hit ramps. It is really annoying when people brag about how great they can whip a bike of a pristine ramp which is...

Is it me or do mini riders in the past few years seem to be taller than most adults?

I wanted to see the step up at the X games but I could not sit through another hour of booring skateboarder biographies. I really like the things the riders of most of the sports are doing, but I get turned off when 75% of what is shown seems to be just wasting time or a 30 minute dissertation on...

On another thread someones topic sparked this one. I was doing a harescramble a year ago and it was super slippery (wet Ohio clay and mud) in late November and down a clay hill in which skis would have been better I saw the end to a battle I came up on. I was lapping these two guys when prior...

As much as I like watching the AMA Nationals, I enjoy The Canadian nationals almost equally, not sure why , but I do.

When I think about getting a new bike I always think about what makes me want to ride more and sometimes it is the odd bikes that for some reason are just fun to race Here is a list of euro bikes that between my dad and myself owned KTM's Gas Gas's TM (only one of those) Maico (1996 500)...

The GNCC series always boasts how popular it is, but if one takes a second and looks at attendance it is painfully obvious to see that attendance is way down from even last year. This years highly touted snowshoe ski resort race resulted in only 183 afternoon riders. 3 years ago there used to be anywhere from 350-500 riders in...

WHat is happening with Nick Wey? Yeah yeah I know KTM, but does anyone really know what is going on with him and why his results are a bit higher than last years?

I was talking to some people about this and for some reason it seems that during some really intense crashes or ones that happen unexpectedly and also cause a major hit to the noogin, It feels as though one is watching oneself crash from above. (in a position like a tv camera). Has this ever happened to anyone else. I...

It's been a while since I posted on here, but does anyone have any information about the passing of freestyle rider Mike Cinqmars? ESPN said he passed away.

The thing I used to really value about the moto community was that it was full of people with common sense (the quality of judgment needed to recognize the simplest of truths), but lately the moto community has turned into a whiny domain full of pansified little girls who want to change the world of racing because they might get...

I dont remember a recent thread on this, but I am just absolutely appauled by the magazine that comes with Membership to the AMA. It shows nothing, but street bike stuff which I know composes much of the market, but still I wish they would do something to spice it up. Every month when it comes in the mail, I...

While the photography has remained high in quality I simply have not had the desire to read any of the moto magazines lately. Most of them have appeared to me to have lost that honest edge or other times I just cannot relate the travel stories or the lifestyles of the pompous magazine editors. It is apparent what bikes in...

There was a post asking if someone could jump that goofy jump after the split at AII, but I still cannot figure out why someone thought that was a good idea to stick in? The best riders in the world coming up to a jump just to grab a ton of brake and roll it seems to be pointless.

I missed the step up, How did Carmicheal do?

Regardless if Jame's bike gernaded I think the way he handled the cameras and the post crash interview was very unprofessional. I am not sure what journalistic purpose was served by immediately trying to interview someone who just augered into the ground, but not only as one of the top riders in the sport, but as a modern motocross icon...

It seemed for most that a few beers with a friend in the garage was enough to get the old two stroke top end replaced, but with the added difficulty in both time and parts are four strokes as reliable as used bike purchases? When I ask some people how many hours are on your 250f/450f I hear a barrage...
